Fun Fact of the Day #1 talking with you is dangerous for my mental state, every time we talk, I wanna just take my chit out and go fast!I've been checking options on the 2.5 Kings for the JK and they're literally double the price but as you said having the piece of mind to go all out is just so damn nice hahaha. i think i'll go 2.5 as well.., you guys know some of me always trying to cheap out on some to redo it again and pay more ******** it. I'll focus myself on the getting the height i'll have first, then add the right shocks and call it a day.
My Clayton arms showed up today so i took 20 min of my afternoon to get them in.
Pure ******* beef, literally 14lbs each

Fun Fact of the Day #2 Bistein rear coils for the Ram 1500 will lift a jeep XJ 3.5 inches in the front.
Long story short, I got to thinking and decided to test fit the old bilstein coils I have kicking around. They spec out perfect for what I needed to compliment the kings I plan on running. 200lb (ish) rate, a free length of 19.5/20" and should net about 3.5" lift. Was also able to remove the passenger side lean i was getting. I'll be damned if they don't fit like a glove. Added my 1.75 spacers to the lift to net a total of 5.25 lift. Should keep me from blowing through my travel as easy as I was with the OME coils which had the same free height of 19.5" but a 147lb rate.
